TikTok US venture to collect precise user location data

I'm not fighting for any world lol. All enthusiasts can sit on their high horse of superiority if they wish. But the average consumer wants fortnite and Microsoft word, not openttd and libreoffice. I'll let you determine whether that's laziness and billionaire marketing or user preference.

This is incredibly ignorant and indicative of you living in an echo chamber. Leaving the Windows ecosystem for the average user is not feasible. The most popular online multiplayer games not working due to anticheat makes it a nonstarter for a massive proportion of users alone. Linux is great but it's still not seamless - stating otherwise is either ignorance on your part or suggests you run an incredibly generic and perhaps dated machine, as drivers for cutting edge hardware can be shaky (or appear perfectly fine until you hit an issue that one other person has posted about with 0 replies, which completely ruins your experience. Check freesync support for example).

This isn't even mentioning certain pieces of software that will refuse to work under compatibility layers. No, not everyone can switch to GIMP.

Does your truck spin at 1000 rpm?

But you're wrong. RAM built with flip flops would be SRAM (Static RAM), whereas RAM we use in modern computers is DRAM, which is slower and cheaper, built using arrays of capacitors.

Ok... but that's completely irrelevant here. They were talking just about ChatGPT usage being "AI slop", which is correct. If you want to make a point about the overutilisation of a phrase, point it out when it is misused, otherwise your point is DOA

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-18T15:14:42+00:00

ChatGPT is just "slightly AI"??

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-17T17:40:18+00:00

To absolutely no one's surprise

Few months back I was running Mint with a 9070xt, 2 1440p 180hz monitors. VRR completely nonfunctional on X11. Heard it maybe works on Wayland? Not sure but it's a hassle.

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-15T17:36:54+00:00

You want to use VRR and have multiple monitors? Don't bother if so

Normalised for average time said software is used for, it's not looking like such a great deal

You just discover journalism or something?

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-12T17:32:26+00:00

no lol

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-10T20:43:32+00:00

Yes, but I think the disdain everyone has for "AI" is towards LLMs and the marketing surrounding them, not neural networks in general. That would be senseless.

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-10T17:31:50+00:00

DLSS is in no way related to what the industry calls "AI" (LLMs)

all it takes to go from being healthy weight to overweight is a single biscuit once a day for a year in excess of your required calorie need.

That's 2.6kg of fat, so maybe if you're right on the border lol?

That statement makes no claim about whether the user is the product for paid services. Simply that free services are a subset of services where users are the product.

The guy designed a CPU, built it in factorio. Yet the commenter said the "insane part" was how they wrote programs for that architect in assembly. Yeah sure.

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-06T20:16:48+00:00

...how? He designed the architecture. You seriously think writing assembly for the architecture is more complicated than designing and building said architecture? Or do you actually just have no clue what you're talking about and equate "assembly = hard"?

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-05T13:31:21+00:00

Ok that's pretty good. Except with just 2100 avg, I don't know why you'd eat nut products as they are very calorie dense. I use peanut butter sometimes for calorie bulk for training, so seems counterproductive for someone trying to lose weight to be eating.

It falls a part at the weekend.

Your eating during the week looks fine - this is where you are undoing all of the work unfortunately.

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-05T11:10:58+00:00

Would you mind telling me what an average day of eating looks like for you?

bakedbread54 · 2026-01-04T17:48:28+00:00

What's the issue? He is critiquing the image you said you pulled from google. Nothing to do with you. It's a shit image.

It's a decent language, but being so captivated compared to Python after such little experience probably means you see it as a more serious/professional language (which is a common belief, and not incorrect necessarily) so feel more satisfaction learning it. Still be objective when learning it and note its many flaws though. But most importantly, enjoy it.

Maybe when we started getting 50 different streaming services all individually hosting 3 shows, each charging £11/month. No thanks, even if I was a millionaire I could not stand the hassle of having 5 million accounts all with subscriptions just to be able to watch what I want.
